Unless you like washing the wheels everyday i would avoid the white ones.

I have had white for the last 7 years, now on my second set. Yes it has been a pain cleaning them but its worth it.

I do think a dark blue scooby looks better with white and if you get brake pads with less dust then not too much of a problem, plus if you dont use your brakes they dont get too dirty

If you wax them really well when you first get them, they will stay cleaner for longer and will be easier to clean.

White for sure, get some poorboys and layer it up before you fit them and a couple of layers every time you wash them



I get the wheels off every now and again to give the inner surfaces a really good clean

Like white wheels but have you had a look at bronze like matt2000 said think the bronze would suit your car colour better than the gold but thats only my thoughts.

White looks better and I have white wheels

but much prefer keeping gold wheels clean than white

My preference for looks and practicallity would be bright flighter

Gold alloys are a scoobie trademark, white alloys remind me of evo 5/6's , both look nice but I prefer the gold personally.
